infinite-brain-harness: Instructions file for Codex

AGENTS.md

infinite-brain-harness AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from starmynd-org/infinite-brain-harness. It costs 1,742 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of working rules for an AI coding agent managing several repositories and shared “brain” repositories. It explains where work belongs, how repositories are registered and synced, and which commands are available.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to orient an agent in the repository structure, route tasks to the correct repository, manage shared work repositories, and maintain the repository registry.
Why use it?
It reduces confusion when one operation owns multiple code repositories. The routing and backup rules help keep work in the right place and keep related instruction files aligned.

Written for Codex and OpenCode: the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

This is starmynd-org/infinite-brain-harness's own configuration. It tells Codex and OpenCode how to work on infinite-brain-harness itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything infinite-brain-harness configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

infinite-brain-harness AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Harness (Codex orientation)

This is the Codex mirror of CLAUDE.md. The two files carry the same content and must be edited together. Orient from this file first.

This is the harness: the shared-parent tier of the Infinite Brain topology, and the folder you open. It holds no work of its own. Its job is to route your work to the right brain, keep every brain backed up and synced, and keep an inventory of every repo you run. CLAUDE.md is the Claude Code mirror; keep the two in sync.

One folder for everything you own: internal/

internal/ holds every repo your own operation owns and operates end to end. It carries two kinds of child, and the difference is what the harness does with them, not where they sit:

Kind What it is What the harness does
A mounted brain Your shared work brain (a company brain, or a department brain that graduated to its own repo) and your individual brain (individual-<your-name>/) Clones it in, validates it, registers it, syncs it, and copies its commands up so they work here
Any other repo Product code, client-facing apps, tools: anything you own that is not a brain Registers it and routes to it. Never mounts it, never copies its commands up

The harness tells them apart structurally, not from a list: a child is a mounted brain when it carries both .claude/ and _system/validate.sh, the marker every brain built from the Infinite Brain OS starter has and no app repo does. A hand-kept list would be wrong the first time a brain was added, and the failure would be silent: the new brain's commands would simply never appear and nobody would be told why. It also means an app repo can carry its own .claude/ without leaking commands into this root, which matters, because plenty of them do.

external/ is the other half of the ownership axis: repos a client owns or that are co-operated with an outside party, with one client's several repos grouped under external/<group>/. Brains are never mounted from external/; a client's brain is theirs to mount in their own harness.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
